Part II
Kamala Harris has just now unveiled her epic economic agenda, providing her most detailed vision yet of how she is going to govern. Here are the 10 key takeaways from Kamala’s latest economic masterstroke—each one more astonishing than the last:
Populist Agenda: Kamala’s agenda is aggressively populist, which is a fancy way of saying, “I’ll promise you the moon and the stars, but you might just get a moon rock or two.” It’s a shopping list of government interventions meant to make you feel better, even if the long-term bill will be as big as the national debt.
$6,000 Child Tax Credit: Kamala’s proposing a $6,000 Child Tax Credit for a baby’s first year. It’s a great idea—because what’s better than a hefty tax credit for a child who’s going to grow up in an economy so inflated that their piggy bank might need a bailout?
Medical Debt Elimination: Eliminating medical debt sounds great, right? Kamala wants to wipe the slate clean for millions of Americans. The plan? The federal government buys up and forgives all that debt. Sure, it’s like winning the lottery—except you don’t get the money, just a little less debt, and a lot more taxes down the road.
Price Gouging Ban: Despite existing laws to prevent price gouging, Kamala wants Americans to believe she’s introducing a “first-ever” ban on grocery price gouging. Because, you know, it’s not the sky-high demand from the influx of 15 million new guests from South of the Border that’s driving prices up—it’s those pesky grocery store managers! The logic is flawless, really. Just tell the stores to stop charging more, and voila! Problem solved. Except, of course, for that tiny detail where there still aren’t enough goods to go around. But why let reality interfere with a good plan?
Price Gouging Plan (pt. 2): Kamala Harris’s latest economic initiatives are a classic case of political rhetoric trying to mask economic reality. The narrative is clear: she’s here to save the day, but leading economists believe her solutions will actually make things worse?
Take price controls, for example. History has shown us time and again that these policies often lead to shortages and distortions in the market. But Harris seems determined to prove that she can defy economic gravity, as if her political will can somehow override basic supply and demand. Unfortunately, the real world isn’t so forgiving. The more she tries to control prices, the more likely we are to see shelves continue to go empty and prices spike.
But that’s not the end of the story. In the final analysis, what’s truly hurting the economy aren’t just misguided policies—they’re the direct results of two major drivers: immigration and money creation.
On immigration, Harris’s tenure as Border Czar has been nothing short of a disaster. If you recall from Part I of this article , our country has been been overrun with immigrants which from a population stand point is like adding the least populated 13 states to our country in less than 4 years.
With over 15 million new people flooding the country, we’re seeing the economic consequences play out in real-time. Housing shortages, increased demand for social services, and a labor market stretched to the breaking point are just a few of the ripple effects. And while the administration continues to downplay the crisis, everyday Americans are left to bear the brunt of skyrocketing costs and dwindling resources.
Then there’s the issue of money creation. The Harris-Biden administration has been spending money like it’s going out of style, leading to one of the most significant money creation periods in recent history. The more money they pump into the economy, the less value it holds. And who pays the price? The American middle class, who are now forced to stretch their paychecks thinner than ever before.
Money creation is like adding water to soup—you end up with more, but it’s less satisfying. So when the government prints more money into the economy, it increases the amount of cash circulating in the economy, but this can ultimately reduce the value, or purchasing power of each dollar. As a result, prices rise, and your money doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. What feels like an increase in wealth is actually just spreading the same amount of value more thinly, leading to higher costs and destroying wealth.
And let us not forget that price controls are the cornerstone of communism which has a spectacular track record of failure throughout history. Does Venezuela come to mind?
Housing Subsidy: A $25,000 federal subsidy for first-time homebuyers. Because nothing says “fixing inflation” like pumping more money into a housing market that’s already hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna. It’s like trying to put out a fire by tossing on a few more logs. The average American will see about as much benefit from this as they would from winning a coupon to a store that just closed down. And who’s footing the bill for this grand idea? You guessed it—the same taxpayers who are already struggling to keep up with the cost of living. But don’t worry, those 15 million new residents will help share the burden, right? Oh, wait—they’re the reason there’s a housing shortage and inflation in the first place.
Prescription Drug Costs: Capping prescription drug costs, including a $35 per month insulin cap for all. It’s a popular move—who doesn’t want cheaper meds? But maybe the real magic trick here is how they’ll pay for it. Probably the same way they’ve been paying for everything else—by charging it to the future.
Medicare Negotiations: Kamala’s plan to let Medicare negotiate drug prices might sound like a win for taxpayers, but given her track record, trusting her to negotiate on our behalf feels like a leap of faith. Let’s not forget her recent negotiations with Iran, where she and Joe agreed to trade $6 billion for the release of American hostages—funds that went straight into the pockets of a country chanting "Death to America." And then there’s Kamala's swap of a notorious arms dealer, dubbed the “Merchant of Death,” for Brittney Greiner, a WNBA player who hates America and was arrested in Russia for smuggling drugs. Is this really who we want negotiating with Big Pharma? Given her history, we might end up trading affordable prescriptions for…well, let’s just hope it’s not another terrorist.
No New Tax Increases: Kamala promises no new taxes on Americans earning under $400,000 per year. But here’s the catch—while they may not be raising taxes directly, they’re still taking it from somewhere else. That “somewhere else” is through inflation—the invisible tax that knows no income bracket and shows no discretion between the rich and the poor. So, while $400,000 might be the benchmark, the reality is that we’re all paying the price in higher costs for just about everything. It’s nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Moreover, nothing says fiscal responsibility like cutting taxes while ramping up spending. It’s like a diet where you promise not to gain weight but eat twice as much.
Focus on Battleground Voters: This agenda is laser-focused on middle-class voters in battleground states. It’s a brilliant strategy—make a lot of promises now, worry about the consequences later. After all, elections are just around the corner, and the illusion of democracy needs to be maintained at all costs. So, focusing on middle-class voters in battleground states is a clever strategy if you want to win elections.
But let’s translate what that really means: forget about the lower class and the majority of states—just concentrate on the ones that really matter, like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. It’s all about appealing to the select few, while the rest of the country gets left behind in the political dust. After all, why bother with a comprehensive plan when you can just cater to the handful of voters who’ll decide your fate?

The unfortunate truth is that the policies touted as economic saviors are, in reality, setting us up for even more significant challenges down the road.
So, next time you hear Kamala give a speech about how she’s going to help Americans during these challenging times, do yourself a favor: ask how we got into this mess, to begin with. And while you’re at it, see if you can make the math add up. But don’t hold your breath—it’s easier to believe in unicorns than to believe Kamalanomics is going to save the day.
In the end, all we’re left with is a promise of more—more inflation, more spending, and more excuses. So here’s to the Harris-Biden administration: masters of the bait-and-switch, and champions of making the worst economic decisions look like a stroke of genius.
